Netmarble has rolled out a major update for its MMORPG RF ONLINE NEXT (developed by Netmarble N2 Inc.), adding a new region called Lavaron and a brand-new Chapter 12.
The update opens Chapter 12 and introduces Lavaron, a new region within the Sindrey Archipelago. Progressing through Chapter 12 unlocks a new world map area to explore, along with a variety of exploration content including Exploration Points, Viewpoints, Memory Chips, Collections, and special collectible items.
Chapter 12: New Quests and Rewards
Chapter 12 adds a new main quest and national quest, along with sub-quests, daily missions, and contract missions, letting players continue the story while taking on new adventures and challenges. The update also implements Chapter 12 achievements, Trigon Dimension Monsters, and 17 pieces of T6 Hero Grade equipment (8 weapons, 5 armor, and 4 accessories). This content is available to players who have cleared the Chapter 11.5 main quest.
